The ADcase mobile airbag by Philip Frenzel

Philip Frenzel may have the best new solution to save smartphone damage caused by falling. He created the ADcase, a  airbag for your mobile phone, an equipped case that senses when your phone is in free fall and releases metal prongs to protect it from damaging.

He came up with the workable idea of a specialized case integrated with sensors that could detect when a phone was in freefall, and deploy a set of retractable legs bound by metal springs in response to protect the phone and set up a project to realize his idea into ADcase.




The ADcase works through its dampers which are pushed into their “airbag” position with metal springs, they mainly absorb the impact of the fall and thereby prevent the breaking of  a device’s screen and inner parts. The legs really appear to soften the impact of a fall more than your average case, while also making it less likely your smartphone's more fragile bits come into contact with a hard surface. After being deployed, the dampers can easily be pushed back into the case, allowing it to be used again and again.




Lifehack Finders Nice to Know:

The ADcase is called  so because "AD" stands for "active damping" there is an official ADcase website though the ADcase is not for sale yet.  The designer of this clever gadget has already acquired a patent and even received an award from the German Society of Mechatronics for his invention.
